8th Graders' Egg Drop At Annunciation

As the culmination of their study on the scientific process, eighth graders from St. Rose and Annunciation Catholic School met to test their egg vehicles.

Students discussed their egg vehicle designs and tested their designs with members of the other school.

Students from both schools were excited to meet fellow scientists, and we are looking forward to future collaboration.

8th Graders Gather Data for Egg Drop

8th Grade students gather data about their eggs and the available materials for their egg drop project. With their goal to "design, build, test, and revise a vehicle that can safely and accurately carry an egg from a 2nd story window to a target below," students participate actively in the scientific process. The project will culminate in a competitive egg drop with Annunciation Catholic School's eight graders. Go Raiders!

Anthony M. - Athlete of the Week

Written by AD Mike Thomas
May 23 - May 27

After numerous rain outs, and at least one sun out, St Rose finally played the varsity baseball championship game on Saturday against St Bernadette. During the regular season, both teams went 9-1, but with our 7-3 win over St Bernadette, we were the regular season champs. After two wins by each team to start the tournament, and several days off, both teams had all their pitchers fresh. Unfortunately, the Raiders came up just short, 5-3, but there was one individual performance in the game that can’t be overlooked.

Anthony Medina becomes our first two time Athlete of the Week. Anthony started at short, but came in to pitch at the end of the second. He allowed one unearned run in 3 1/3 innings pitched, with 3 strikeouts, and two runners picked off second. At the plate, Anthony was even better. With the unfortunate time limit in effect even in the championship game, St Rose hitters only got two plate appearances, but Anthony made the most of his limited opportunities. He hit a sharp single up the middle in the first on an 0-2 count, stole second and third, and scored on a wild pitch to give the Raiders a brief 1-0 lead. He came up again to lead off the fourth. On a 2-2 count, Anthony got a fastball over the plate, and he destroyed it. St Mary’s had a fence up, and Anthony cleared it in left center by a good 15 feet. This looked like it might be the momentum changer we needed, and sure enough, we got their pitcher out of the game later in the inning, but with the time limit, we still ended up coming just short. Anthony finished the season with a 6-0 record on the mound, with a 2.40 ERA, and 43 strikeouts in 23 1/3 innings pitched. He also racked up the following gaudy offensive numbers. 10 hits, 9 walks, 3 triples, 2 homers, 20 runs, 10 RBI, 10 stolen bases, a .556 batting average, a .690 on base percentage, and a 1.222 slugging percentage, for an absurd 1.912 OPS. He led the team in triples, homers, runs, and all the rate stats.
